'HORSESHOE-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,345, dated August 11, 1891.

Application filed October 13,1890. Serial No. 367,961. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADAM FOX, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Garrett and State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Horseshoeing-Machine, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in shoeing-stands.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and convenient stand for supporting Jzhe hoofs of horses while being shod, which stand is capable of vertical adj ustment to suit the operator and the animal.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fullydescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoeing-stand constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a similar view taken at right angles to Fig. 2.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a stand constructed of metal and consisting of a plate 2, supported by legs 3. and provided on its upper face with an integral vertical tubular portion 4, in which is arranged a threaded stem 5 of a standard 6. The legs 3 are constructed of metal rods, which have their upper ends secured in perforations of the plate 2, and the latter is provided between the perforations with recesses 7, which form projections 8, to which the legs are secured. The vertical tubular portion 1 is interiorly threaded, and the opening or bore 9 extends through the plate 2. The standard 6 is provided at its lower end with threaded stemv 5, which engages the threaded opening 9 of the standard 1, and the upper end 10 of the standard is enlarged and bifurcated and has pivotally mounted therein a hoof-rest 11, which has oppositely-disposed and outwardly-extending arms and has its upper face 12 concave and is constructed of metal and is mounted in the bifurcation of the upper end 10 on a pivot 13, and it is adapted to be tilted on its pivot to either side to suit the convenience of the operator, and

the rest 11 is maintained at any desired point of adjustment by apin 14:, which is arranged in a perforation 15 of the end 10 and is adapted to engage perforations 16 of the rest 11, and the said perforations 16 are arranged in a curved series and form a part of a circle of which the pivot 13 is the center. The pin is attached to one end of a chain 17, which has its other end secured in a perforation of a plate 18, attached to the upper end of the standard by the pivot 13. The lower perforated portion of the rest is slightly reduced to fit in the bifurcation of the upper end of the standard.

From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings the construction, op-

eration, and advantages of the invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the I art to which it a'ppertains.

What I claim is 1. The combination of the stand, the standard mounted thereon and having its upper end bifurcated and provided with a perforation 15, and the rest pivotally mounted in the bifurcation of the standard, having oppositely disposed and outwardly extending arms having a concaved upper face and provided with a series of perforations 16, and the pin adapted to be arranged in the perforation 15 of the standard to engage the rest, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the'stand provided with a vertical tubular portion, the standard having its lower end provided with a threaded stem engaging the said tubular portion and having its upper end bifurcated, the rest having the concave upper face and having oppositely-disposed and outwardly-extending arms and pivotally mounted in the bifurcation of the standard, and means for securing the rest at any pointof adjustment, substan tially as described.

3. The combination of the stand comprising the plate 2, provided in its periphery with recesses forming projections and having perforations in the projections and provided with the vertical tubular portion formed integral with the plate, and the legs secured in the perforations of the projections, the vertically-adjustable standard, and the rest having oppositely-outstzinding arms having a my own I have hereto affixed my signature in concaved upper face and pivotaily mounted presence of two Witnesses. on the standard and capable of adjustment on its pivot and provided with means for se- ADAM FOX.

curing it at the desired point of adjustment,

fitneSses: substantially as described. P. E. KIMMELL.
